Fun with the Mill and lathe

I got my pieces back from the plater this week, you might have seen some of this when I was working on them.



Wiring passes thru mount and inside swingarm



37 Ford tail light with the tag light on the bottom side

 

WOW!! Nice. I liked the tail light bracket.

 

Love the combination of the billet bracket with the antique CAR tailight. Love car parts used on choppers. Plumbing parts work nice too

Can we see a whole bike shot?

 

You can see some pics here, its a little too off topic: Scooter pics

Here is another piece, but it is still at the plater. Its the primary shroud, I didnt make it, just made the slots and holes. Making the holes in that arc was interesting.

 

glen, i take it from your holes on a circle comment that you are kinda new at machining? pick up a copy of the machinist's ready reference, they have tables of coordinates for bolt circles so you don't have to do trig to figure it out. lots of other good stuff in there that i take for granted everybody knows!

lookin good btw.

 

What a diffenance in the color in the sunlight. Love the heavy flake.

(Like the flames on the door too!)

 

that's some very nice work
